On a cold but sunny Veterans Day morning—just one day after Winchester’s first snowfall of the season—the culmination of over 20 years of work was celebrated, as the ribbon was cut on the Clark County World War II/Korean War Memorial. An estimated crowd of 250 or more braved the icy air to witness the historic event.
The monument and park, located on East Broadway, just off Main Street, is a refuge of green space in the middle of Winchester’s central business district. Designed by Winchester retired architect and US Marine Corps Veteran, Chuck Witt, the site is now finished and ready to receive visitors.
The site memorializes the 77 Clark County troops who perished in World War II and the 19 lost in the Korean conflict. Each fallen service member has a bronze plaque and a number that references the location of their death on one of two granite maps engraved and mounted on pedestals at both ends of the monument.
In addition, the walkway connecting the monument to the street is paved with memorial bricks purchased by people who wish to honor a veteran, another family member, or a friend.
